NEW YORK—Samsung has unveiled two new Android smartphones with jumbo screens as it seeks to recapture some of the sales lost to Apple after larger iPhones came out last year.
Samsung said Thursday, Aug. 13, that the new Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus will start shipping Aug. 21 in the United States and Canada. Usually, Note phones don’t come out until well after Apple’s new iPhone models in September.
The timing reflects a shift in fortunes for a company that pioneered jumbo phones.
